Nice one, looks good mate, shame about being a wee bit poisonous.
thanks, this sort of thing makes me realise how dangerous a house fire would be, imagine an entire house-worth of toxic fumes being released.
Its funny i was researching this Zinc toxic thingy problem and cam across a brilliant response on another forum, i will post it below
"I'm getting old, Jeff, but within my lifetime it was considered medically essential that water never be put on a burn, only butter and other oils. And I can remember when manufacturers of breakfast cereal were, for years, lambasted by media and Congress for subverting our children into a habit of eating the "empty calories" of whole grain and fiber instead of wholesome protein like bacon and eggs and liver. Diet A is labeled worthless and diet B a healthful life style, then the positions reversed, back and forth, almost every other month. Where are we with female replacement hormones -- good or bad? It's changed at least 3 times in 6 months. After half a lifetime of intensive study, is aluminum linked to Alzheimer's or not? Sorry, still debatable. Mammograms good or bad, an alcoholic drink a day good or bad, coffee good or bad, milk good or bad, plastic butcher blocks an important replacement for cracked wood surfaces or an oleophillic surface that guarantees contamination?
We are a paranoid society which places far too much belief in the sketchiest of theories as long as they're scary (Toxic Timebomb in Your Kitchen! - News at 11); they are all instantly accepted and rarely demonstrated. If we can't decide whether carefully monitored things that are ingested daily are good or bad for us, shall we honestly worry about very casual exposure to heated zinc?
What shall we make things of? Better not use aluminum! Steer clear of nickel! Don't use zinc! Copper and silver are powerful biocides that must be avoided. Rusty bare steel, forget it! Chrome? Don't be crazy. Concrete? Silicosis. Wood? Harbors bacteria. Vinyl? Carcinogenic vapors. Asbestos? Get real. Is cobalt safer than nickel? Probably until diets A and B reverse places.
We need to watch the biggies which it is hard to argue the dangers of: mercury, lead, and cadmium. And keep our eyes open for a fourth baddie, and then a fifth. But our government throws money at beltway bandit researchers (campaign contributors) who have been on the road of diminishing returns for decades, looking harder and harder for the slimmest of possible risks to scare us and extend their grants; our politicians make hay "protecting" us from the specter of toxic hobgoblins; and the TV networks keep us watching by warnings of impending calamity. Only an opinion."
